I wouldn't object to any of them appearing again, could easily see the Broodals making some spin-off appearances. Could possibly see Cappy in the Mario Party series.
But it's obvious that Punch-Out is just simply a guest appearance, with DK being the only Mario-related part of that game. Meanwhile over here, Mario makes up quite a bit of Smash, with several fighters, stages, enemies etc.
I think some nods to the Mario series in Kirby would be great, maybe some enemies crossing over like in Link's Awakening. But little Mario memorabilia appearing in Pikmin would be pretty cool as well!
Only Chaos wasn't completed last month, let's try and complete all these focuses this month!

I must've skipped option 6 when reading the poll, so I went with 7. But yeah, I'll wait for him to be there longer before forming a proper opinion about him.
Unlike what the edition says, we did actually manage 5/6 of our focuses. Hot Lips was completed, although too late for me to have changed anything due to my schedule. Let's try and keep this high amount of completion going. Here are our focuses for the month, I know some have been done already...
Having additional search traffic is not really a bad thing, and it is relevant at the end of the day. And I do think the arguments in favour of keeping them are stronger than the ones against; and I do firmly believe it is a crossover in our coverage, not a guest appearance.
But one thing I am...
We managed to get all of our goals completed last month, and at the time of writing we are already halfway there!

I was going to saw option 2, but the only Mario game I'm looking forward to is LM3. Meanwhile, I super want a new Animal Crossing and the Pokemon game, plus I have been meaning to get into the Metroid franchise at some point.
We had a 50/50 success rate last time, let's try and boost that number this time around. Also made a small error, should've double-checked before but image quality focus was actually fixed a few days before release, so at least you don't have to worry about that one this time around, unless you...
Only a few weeks before next Spotlight, so let's try and get a final push.
King Bob-omb's Powderkeg Mine just needs a layout, so if anyone out there has Super Mario Party, it would be great to get that.
Paper-Cone Goomba could actually be complete, as from the sounds of it, it acts identical to...
Wow, we did amazingly last month, with only one focus not being done. Let's keep that momentum going, and hopefully complete all six this time around.

We're only a couple of weeks away from the new Spotlight, and there are two focuses that haven't been done.
So, can anyone create Cowabunga? and what's happening with Speed Golf? It looks like the general consensus, both on forum and wiki, is to merge it into the games.
Also, as much as I have...
Let's show our Mario Wiki articles some love, and get rid of these improvement tags.

I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to get the game, I haven't played a game in the Metroid series yet; although I wouldn't mind starting. That said, option 1 is the one that fits best for me.
We had reasonable success for our last Spotlight of 2018, so hopefully we'll get more successes out of 2019

So here are our frosty and toasty themes for this month

I make no secret about wanting Waluigi in Smash, so I've voted for him.
Skull Kid, I think, would have an interesting moveset.
I want more Kirby representation, and I think Knuckle Joe could be feasible.
Krystal, Samurai Goroh and Jeff because I want their series to have more representation...
